Farmers in north-central Missouri say the soil is soaking up the week’s rains and there’s renewed optimism for the crops.
“Crops and soils were needing a drink really bad.”
Brandon Thiel from Malta Bend tells Brownfield the more than 4 inches of rain that fell the first week of August should help soybean pods fill.
“It’s no secret a wetter, cooler August is definitely going to drive soybean yield and the crop is still flowering to an extent, putting on new pods.
